<p>viscious, peer guardian is windows only. i haven’t been able to find a substitute for mac but my neighbors wireless makes up for that. Even though a mac user, I believe that windows xp is the best protected platform to download torrents. Also all people who mentioned alcohol 120 and daemon tools, toast titanium blows them out the water in terms of ease and reliability.
P.S. If you missed this earlier: ALWAYS DELETE THE TORRENT EXT FILE because every system saves it unless you specifically delete it. It’s the easiest way for the fed’s or RIAA to tell if you have downloaded torrents or not.</p>

<p>You’re talking about the .torrent file, right?</p>
<p>Yes, also, you’re punished more severely for sharing than for leeching (I know this sounds weird =P). In fact, leeching is legal in Canada but sharing is not. It’s probably best to move your files away from the folder you downloaded them to - as the folder you downloaded them to is the one other people can download off of. But this is contrary to the spirit of file-sharing. haha.</p>
<p>hmmm wouldnt the feds find this thread and know what you were doing?</p>
<p>people like me have the common sense to use proxys while posting stuff that can get us into trouble or for various reasons most people aren’t bothered with.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The feds don’t care. Only organizations like RIAA and MPAA care (those organizations are responsible for enforcement and registering complaints). hell, there are entire forums devoted for illegal bittorrent downloads and they haven’t been closed down.</p>
<p>How do I delete the .torrent files off of my system?</p>
<p>You can set your bittorrent client not to save torrents in the first place</p>
<p>How? /<em>asdkjhasdjkhasdjkhsa</em>/</p>
<p>just save your .torrent files into a special folder and delete it afterwards</p>
<p>some torrent clients do save another copy of the .torrent file. It depends on client. I use a combo of bitcomet and utorrent. there is a special folder for them, but i forgot what it was.</p>
<p>i use bittorrent [it’s the only one i knew of that has a mac version]</p>
<p>Don’t use bitorrent, try azureus. Although it may be a little hard on system resources it does it job well. I thought the actual Bittorrent could only download legally sourced files.</p>
